Room Schedules

Sauk Valley Community College encourages the public to think
outside the box about the career fields available today. The public is invited
to the Nontraditional Occupational Showcase Thursday, April 26 from 5-8 p.m. in
the east mall at SVCC.

Nontraditional occupations are ones that the majority of
those employed are of the opposite gender. Examples for women include computer
information systems, electronics, criminal justice, welding, truck driving,
wind energy and fire science. Men’s nontraditional occupations include nursing,
office and administrative services, early childhood education, special
education and human services. All the occupations mentioned are programs also
available at SVCC.

During the nontraditional occupational showcase from 5-6:30
p.m., participants will have a chance to meet with organizations that include
nontraditional careers, professionals in nontraditional fields and employment
agencies to discuss opportunities, education and financing.

At 6:30 p.m. a panel discussion will take place in room 1K4.
The panel will include professionals in the nontraditional careers and SVCC students
studying in nontraditional programs. Participants will be able to ask questions
and learn more throughout the discussion.

This free event is open to all ages as it is never too early
or late to consider the kinds of careers available. Refreshments will also be
provided. For more information on the showcase, contact SVCC Instructional
Services at 815-835-6406.
